Breath our scents, walk our landscape, hear our melodic dialects, delight in our savory morsels, touch each rich texture, and the southern essence remains a mystery. The ethereal south, unfathomable to the five senses, lives in the heart. If you believe in magic, and can survive the devastating passions of an open heart, just possibly, you stand a chance of living a moment as a southerner. Most people aren't brave enough to be southerners, even the ones that are.

Hillary Out - Racism In?


Politicians are the primary reason racism continues to exist as an issue in this country. Divisive tactics, such as finger pointing and labeling someone as evil, as a method to attain and hold on to leadership power, are ancient, but we still fall for them. If Obama isn't elected the country will be called racist in a great wail and gnashing of teeth by Jessie Jackson, Oprah, Al Sharpton, et al. And, yes; probably even the, forever opportunistic, Clintons.

Our choices this election year are shaping up to be between ignorant, inexperienced youth, without a position on anything except “change” (Only God knows what, because he isn’t saying) and the life battered, and perhaps a little crazy, but at least he’s honest, elderly.

My two questions for the next poll are: How many will vote for McCain only because he is white, no matter what else? And, never mind that he comes across as a little touched. How many will vote for Obama only because he is black, no matter what else? And, never mind that even though his mantra is “CHANGE”, he’s never “changed” anything. In a country where we agree to disagree, I find it interesting that there are whites for Obama, but seemingly a void of blacks for McCain. Perhaps racism doesn’t reside where we’ve been told it does in this country?

If I’m sick of the ultra neo-nazi conservatives and ultra neo-fascist liberals making cannon fodder of our youth and trashing our country with goofy legislative demands on the rest of us, as they tell us how stupid we are and better off letting them decide every breath for us. I suppose the axiom of people deserving no better than they are willing to accept is now believed and accepted widely in this country. Look at New York. They got Hillary. In my way of thinking, the crazy damnyankees got what they deserve. Now, I wish they weren’t trying to push her off on the rest of us, but that’s a different issue of northern aggression. We aren’t discussing that today. We’re discussing politics and racism. Which is a lot like a dog chasing its tail. We never seem to quiet get it do we?

I’d still like to see the results of that poll. Obama's running mate agianst McCain may be Racism, but not the kind we're used to hearing about. This is going to be interesting. And, yes I've finally decided who I'm voting for. Being a little crazy hasn't hurt me much, so...

Another One Bites The Crust


Mitt Romney discusses the width of Hillary Clinton's hip spread before announcing that he is quitting the campaign for President and opening a doughnut shop catering to the large bottomed female market share. His supersized doughnuts will be called "Opra Oh's".

This is, of course, all political parody, because the truth is just too strange and distasteful. Besides, I have to say its parody for obvious legal reasons.

If I were an enemy of this country, I would be laughing my arse off. But, I'm not the enemy, and I'm not laughing. Its all enough to make you cry. Where's Bozo the Clown when you really need him?

Remember you heard it here first, beneath the Carolina moon.

Running On Their Records

Hillary Raghead-Clinton and the whole Clintonista Clan hanging out with the world's most renown terrorist of the time, until his death and the rise of Osama bin Laden, Yasser Arafat.
The man ordered school houses full of children bombed, rocket attacks on civilian targets such as residential apartment complexes, and the list goes on. Oh yeah, when he finally laid off taking public credit for his atrocities, he was given a Nobel Peace Prize, a totally meaningless liberal way to gift money to scurrulous celebrities who are down on thier finances.

And, Barack Hussein Obama’s record? Does he have one? Evidently if he does, he wants to change it. That's about all that comes out of his mouth is the word "change". This is some election. The Republican candidates, I haven't even started trimming on yet, but the Dummocrats are definitely out of the game for me. Soup or Tuesday? I'll take the soup!

Posted by Dread who feels better for getting this off his mind and into the blog, and is glad that soup or Tuesday is now behind us.

Social Grace


I've been struggling to find something nice and quietly southern and polite to put here. It's been difficult. The political climate, the mental state of "average America", the whole goofiness of day to day life, working in a nut basket, and maybe just getting older, all seem to be having a dimming effect on my sunny side. I don't like that. I like to be cheery, grateful for a chance to spread a little joy, exuberant even.

I'm not sure what to do about it. I try avoiding negative people, but not all of them can be avoided. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, people just insist on being pukes and splattering on your shoes. So, for those people, I have come up with a solution.

This morning I ran off a hundred copies of the above postit note, then I went by the local Home Depot and bought a heavy duty staple gun with 3/4 inch staples (that's about 2 cm for you metric people). Today, when I run into one of those people that just insists on being a social puke, I'm going to staple the note to their forehead. I'll let you know how it goes. By the way the back of the note reads like this:


I'm feeling all sunny and warm already!

Embarrassment!

In yesterday's South Carolina Dummocrat primary, the Dummocrats lived up to their name and voted for no experience, no qualifications, no strong moral fiber of record, and instead cheered on empty rhetoric with their ballots. The one candidate with some qualifications, a track record, and a real cause to push, came in third place. Way to go dumboze! Thanks for embarrassing the whole state!

Thank goodness we have independents, Libertarians, and Republicans also in this state, to offset their votes in the general election.

That's all I'm going to say. I'll stop here, before my language deteriorates to the level of the Dummocrats' intelligence quotient!
